Description

Hello, humans! The narrative returns to the main characters. Has Aurora gone crazy or are there really no real people left besides her? We will find out the answer another time, but now the younger sister will have to bear responsibility for her choice. I use machine translation. If you see a typo, correct me.

On that ill-fated morning, the Barrier over the tundra surrounding the city turned off and, along with the first rays of the sun, the combat vehicles of the ark descended to the surface. Is it worth mentioning that Shelter didn’t even have a chance against Archive? City residents will no longer have the opportunity to understand what happened. None of them noticed how one nervous noblegirl, having returned to the city, replaced the masking software that the residents of Shelter used to protect themselves from golem attacks. Aurora replaced this software with another one received from Archive, the next loading of these codes into megaliths opened the way to the surface through the Barrier. For, being created on the ark, the new codes turned out to be so effective that they completely disabled the infrastructure of the old humanity: the Barrier above the city shut down, the golems melted, and the ridiculous structures of black sand disappeared without a trace.

The curse of petrification left these lands, clearing the tundra of the presence of old humanity. However, there was no one left to rejoice at the clean snow, the machines that descended from the sky destroyed the city to the ground. Archive only cared about the survival of humanity, he did not care about the fate of a bunch of fakes posing as people. Having sent large forces to the surface, he did not at all think about dealing with the inhabitants of Shelter in the bloodiest way, but there was a decisive battle ahead, which could not be treated irresponsibly.

Aurora watched the chaos reigning around with indifference, she came to meet her older sister face to face for the last time. Now she knew the truth why her older sister attracted hordes of machines of old humanity. Having escaped from Inner Surface, the sister took with her a device created by one of the founders of Church, which allowed her to interact with ancient technologies. This device was formerly called the Nameless Savior and now it is the only key that can stop the collapse of the planet. By connecting to one of the towers and using the computing power of the ark, Archive will be able to disable Immortality Engine, but first the Nameless must be torn out of the body of her older sister. Numerous nodes of the ark filled the burning ruins of the city, looking for the older sister, who should be somewhere nearby. Perhaps they were lucky and after the blow to Shelter, all that was left was to pick up the Nameless from the dead body of the girl. Sitting on one of the combat robots controlled by Archive, Aurora looked through the scope of her rifle, helping in the search as best she could.

She looked until she saw in the distance a male silhouette walking towards them with an unsteady gait. At first, she thought that some daredevil, in a state of shock, decided to be brave before dying. But taking a closer look, she noticed a bottle in his hands... it looked like he was just dead drunk. Aurora could not imagine how drunk a person must be to walk along a burning street over the corpses of people burned alive, straight to meet them. And he was shouting something in the direction of machines scurrying everywhere, but Aurora hardly understood the inarticulate drunken speech. Fascinated by the absurdity of the situation, she did not notice the main thing - some red mass was circling around the man, which devoured the bodies lying on the ground, leaving not even bones. The realization of what was happening came to Aurora too late, the last thing she saw was the colossal roots of the plant bursting out of the ground and crushing Archive's machines like tin cans.
